A fair winner at 20f over hurdles for Nicky Henderson. Rarely threatened for present yard though, last home over hurdles at Market Rasen latest. Hard to fancy returned to chasing here.

Won 3 claiming chases in France. Yet to scale same heights for new yard, but posted respectable third of 4 in handicap at Ffos Las (16f, good to soft) 13 days ago and looks one of likelier contenders here.

Made winning start over fences here last month and followed up, off 7 lb higher, in 5-runner handicap chase at Fontwell (17.8f, good) 34 days ago. Looks the one to beat.

Never troubled the judge in 5 starts over hurdles/fences last year and is best watched back from 9 months off here.

Well held in bumper/maiden hurdle back in spring 2023 and no signs of improvement in a couple of starts this year. Switch to fences needs to bring about improvement.

ROCKS UP LATE had something up his sleeve when landing his second chase victory at Fontwell last month and may have more to offer yet. He should prove hard to beat. Jaipaletemps is the forecast pick.
